Request failed or timed out

Questions

Hi,

I am new to Infura and was trying to send requests with curl. But almost every example request I choose from https://infura.io/docs/gettingStarted/makeRequests, fails with the message “{“jsonrpc”:“2.0”,“id”:1,“error”:{“code”:-32603,“message”:“request failed or timed out”}}”. The only request that works for me is “eth_chainid”. Below is a request I pasted from the documentation that should work but returns the mentioned error. Of course I changed my project id. What I am doing wrong? Thanks for your help in advance.

curl https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/YOUR-PROJECT-ID \
    -X POST \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_blockNumber","params": [],"id":1}'
